Two decades shaping order management, supply chain, and commerce platforms for the retailers you know — and the ones you will.
I'm a vision-driven technology leader with nearly twenty years of experience shaping enterprise platforms across retail, e-commerce, and supply chain. My work sits at the intersection of strategy and systems — the place where a roadmap becomes a running microservice.
I've led global teams scaling platforms for Urban Outfitters, Bass Pro Shops, Tractor Supply, Tory Burch, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. I'm now defining the enterprise architecture vision for Alo Yoga's OMS and supply chain — cloud-native, API-first, and built to move.
When I'm not doing that, I'm building things with AI — a chess engine with GPT opponents, a RAG chatbot, a multi-agent AI movie studio. Because a leader who still ships is a leader who still understands.
Defining and executing enterprise architecture strategy across OMS, supply chain, and WMS. Leading global order management tech vision — cloud-native, API-first, event-driven. Modernizing legacy systems with microservices, containers, and automation, in partnership with product, data, and security leaders.
Shaped enterprise technology direction for supply chain, inventory, and order management. Defined architecture for forecasting platforms with advanced analytics and AI/ML-based demand planning. Partnered with executives on roadmaps, business cases, and POCs that aligned digital capability to measurable business outcomes.
Built and scaled a global practice from the ground up. Shaped OMS, commerce, and integration strategy for Urban Outfitters, Bass Pro Shops, Tractor Supply, Tory Burch, and more. Led 150+ across US and India, championed cloud-native and API-driven modernization, and grew the practice through talent, utilization, and repeatable innovation.
Led consulting engagements on large-scale retail technology for one of the world's largest grocery networks.
Foundational years in OMS and B2B integration — the grammar of every platform I've built since.
A leader who can sketch an architecture on a whiteboard but can't open a terminal is half a leader. These are the flagship projects I've been shipping — reference implementations of the enterprise platforms I've spent twenty years advising on, built in conversation with modern AI tools.
An AI-native order management system, reimagined.
A reference implementation of the enterprise OMS patterns I've spent twenty years shaping — order capture, orchestration, distributed sourcing, fulfillment routing, inventory visibility, and returns. AI-native from the core with intelligent decisioning, operational copilots, and event-driven automation layered into every workflow. Cloud-native, API-first, event-driven, Python. The architecture I'd build if I were starting from scratch today.
An AI-native warehouse management system.
The companion to the OMS reference — a complete WMS covering receiving, putaway, slotting, wave and batch picking, packing, shipping, inventory control, cycle counts, and returns processing. AI-native capabilities drive dynamic slotting, pick-path optimization, workload balancing, and exception triage in real time. Designed as a modular, API-driven platform that pairs natively with the OMS to form an end-to-end fulfillment stack.
An AI tutor in the student's pocket.
An AI-powered tutoring platform that adapts to how a student actually learns — generates practice problems, explains missed concepts in plain language, tracks mastery over time, and surfaces the next best thing to study. Built on modern LLMs with a lightweight JavaScript frontend.
Ten more repos — experiments, utilities, and learning projects from the bench.

The best technology strategies aren't architectural diagrams — they're operating agreements between business, engineering, and the people who'll live with them for a decade.
